NPR: Video Made the Political Star

Video Made the Political Star

Have you seen this flap between Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Coulter on MSNBC? It's worth the click through. And speaking of video, the draft Al Gore camp has taken their message to the airwaves. Their ad is running on an Iowa radio station. The immigration bill gets a second life in the senate. And, speaking of the senate, Richard Lugar, a Republican from Indiana, created quite the stir in Washington the other day, calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq. To have a Republican senator of his stature breaking ranks could be a watershed for the war. If it's Wednesday, it must be Political Junkie time. Send us your questions for Ken Rudin.

Do European Countries have fences or walls along their borders? Is there anything to learn from the way they secure their borders?

Is there a website that puts the candidates answers to debate questions side by side for comparison?

Have you seen Mike Gravel's new campaign ads? (One title "Rock" and the second "Fire") They are very strange and I can't figure out what message he is trying to send. These videos are available on youtube if you have not seen them.

I don't understand why Ann Coulter even gets interviews/attention anymore. I believe that she is obnoxiously rude and disrespectful, and not just bc I don't agree with her politically at all. She obviously only wants to cause conflict, not help figure-out how to actually get things accomplished.
Why spend all this time on her juvenile & non-productive behavior instead of much more important political news. I for one am so sick of hearing her, seeing her wear tight short dresses, flipping her hair around to distract people from noticing that she has no idea what she is talking about. How about interviewing a woman who can be respected by other woman?
